Chapter 83 Shopping Spree

As soon as he went out, Dumbledore gave Jian Yu a satisfied smile.

Look at the good child you have raised!

Just a few words were enough to break down Slughorn's defenses!

She was indeed on his side, not only standing on the side of justice, but also moving forward on the right path!

You should know that "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic" written by Ole Bullock is the only known book that details the methods of making and destroying Horcruxes; the despicable Herbert was the first wizard to successfully make a Horcrux; and "The Most Toxic Magic" written by Godlot mentioned the Horcrux, the most evil magical invention!

Slughorn was implying that Tom Riddle, Voldemort, his most beloved student, had indeed created Horcruxes, and the number of Horcruxes was most likely seven!

This is a major breakthrough, which undoubtedly points the direction for his next actions!

Thanks to Jian Yu. If it weren’t for her, who knows when I would be able to trick this slippery old wizard!

Thinking of this, he put his hand on her head.

"Good boy, good boy..." He was so happy and touched that he didn't know what to say.

As a qualified guardian, you should encourage and reward your child when he or she does the right thing.

He decided to reward her.

candy? No, she doesn't like it very much.

Stationery? No, too mediocre.

books? No, it's summer vacation.

He felt that Jian Yu should be given something better.

After weighing his own purse, Dumbledore estimated his financial resources at Gringotts...

——Decided to take the kids on a shopping spree.

......

Hogsmeade village.

Davis-Bans store welcomed a big customer.

"Your arrival really brings honor to our small shop." The owner opened the door for the two with a flattering smile.

Dumbledore pushed Jian Yu forward and said with a smile:

"I'm shopping for some magical equipment for her today. What do you recommend?"

The shop owner's eyes lit up, and he began to talk eloquently about the various magic props sold in the shop, such as the panoramic telescope used in Quidditch games, the Memory Ball... In his words, it seemed that as long as one owned one of these, one would be invincible in the entire wizarding world.

Jian Yu didn't want anything in particular, but Dumbledore was very interested:

"Pack all of these up... Yes, everything in this cabinet... and on the shelf over there... I want them all."

After clearing out everything here, Dumbledore took her to the Wenrenju Quill Pen Shop quickly.

Faced with the shop owner's enthusiastic inquiry, he placed an order passionately:

"Yeah, buy stationery for the kids. This pen looks good... the black and gold one... and the white one..."

"Shorthand quill? That's nice... Autocorrect ink? No, I don't think it's suitable for students..."

No, it suits her perfectly!

Jian Yu looked at the automatic error-correcting ink with extreme desire in his eyes.

Dumbledore indeed hesitated.

"Okay, okay." He chose to give in, "But you have to promise not to bring it into the exam room."

Next was the Fengya brand wizard clothing store, where Jian Yu obtained over a hundred pairs of socks. She even felt that she could wear one pair and throw away another.

After a sweep by shopaholic Dumbledore, all the shop owners except the Hog's Head Inn made a fortune and sincerely wished that the parent-child relationship between the two would last forever.

And after sweeping through this wizarding version of an internet-famous shopping mall, Dumbledore's enthusiasm remained unabated.

He brought Jian Yu to Diagon Alley again.

He first bought enough owl food for Jian Yu's eagle owl to last for a year at Eeyore Owl Shop, and then went to Patchy's Crucible Shop to buy more than ten crucibles, including pewter, brass, copper, silver, and gold... The owner was so happy that he almost lost his mind, and even gave him two large bags of potion ingredients as a gift.

"I think Severus will be very happy." Dumbledore smiled and winked, "It doesn't matter even if you blow up ten cauldrons in his office... Of course, I hope you don't do that, otherwise his howler letter may bombard the headmaster's office."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sign of Tuofan Garment Store and walked in with Jian Yu without hesitation.

The clothes here are considered luxury goods in the wizarding world. Compared with Madam Malkin's robe shop, their materials are more exquisite and the workmanship is more refined. The top hats are made of velvet, and there are all kinds of glittering evening gowns with silver satin hanging down like flowing water.

"Ten sets, ten sets!" He gestured, "For this child. I think we can make them to her size."

As soon as he walked out of the clothing store, he headed straight for the Flying Broomstick Store. Jian Yu's strong opposition did not dampen his enthusiasm:

"Don't worry, kid, this is all from my personal coffers, not from Hogwarts' money funded by the governors. No one is going to Azkaban for buying a Firebolt."

He spent money lavishly.

——Even though Jian Yu might not ride it once in the whole year.

Following Hogsmeade village, the shop owners in Diagon Alley also smiled and even invited these two cash cows to cut the ribbon for their shops.

The two's journey to Diagon Alley ended at Florin's Ice Cream Shop.

Giving each of them a raspberry ice cream, Dumbledore took out the parchment filled with summer plans from his robes with a loving smile.

"Let me see the next plan...Thanks to Merlin, everything is back on track..."

"We just need to visit the remaining 30 wizards. Let me see... um... France and Austria are really far away. It seems we need some Floo powder."

Jian Yu couldn't believe his ears!

Just need? 30 people?

Is this Christmas or New Year's Day?

She doubted that there was no need to visit so many people during the Chinese New Year when visiting relatives!

"Sorry, I thought I heard 13 instead of 30?"

Dumbledore smiled and answered her:

"No, no, you heard me right. We are visiting one person in two days. The remaining two months of summer vacation will pass quickly."

He hummed an unknown tune and put two ticks after the names of Aberforth and Slughorn.

"We'll go see Mr. and Mrs. Flamel tomorrow." He put down the parchment and smiled. "I'm sure you miss them after not seeing them for a year."

But his smile gradually disappeared from his face.

Because a figure appeared at the door of the cold drink shop.

It was Minister Fudge, who was panting.
